FOREST HILL - Perry Vale - Lower Sydenham - Penge - Anerley - Elmers End - Eden Park - West Wickham - Shirley Way - Addiscombe Road - East Croydon - South Croydon - Denning Avenue - CROYDON AIRPORT (Sundays only)
Sunday 194 rerouted via Shirley Way - thus route had to be renumbered.

It is worthy of a mention that RT1255 is using UPPER CASE blinds when most routes were converted to lower case after 1961 - but of course the 194 via blind is being used
